All doctors will speak English in government hospitals and the standard of care is generally excellent, although waiting times can be long. In an emergency it is better to use a Thai speaker to call for an ambulance as it is by no means certain that the numbers below will get through to an English speaker.

Chulalongkorn University Hospital

Tel: 02 652 4600-9

Rajavithi Hospital

Tel: 02 354 8108-9

Ramathibodi Hospital

Tel: 02 354 7308-9

Pharmacies

In general, pharmacies are open from 09:00-21:00, although some smaller pharmacies may be open before or after these times. There is more likely to be an English-speaking assistant in a pharmacy in a large department store or one of the many branches of Boots. 

For assistance outside these opening hours it is best to go to a hospital.

Blood Transfusion Services

Rhesus negative blood is not common in Thai people and foreigners may find it is in short supply if required. Below is a centre that carries a supply of RH Negative blood and also a volunteer service that keeps a register of donors.

  • The National Blood Centre
    Tel: 02 252 1601
  • Central Blood Register
    Tel: 09 068 8533
